Captain Suffers Nuggets.

Washington Critic.
General w. T. Sherman has been
prominently identified with matters
affecting the world history independ-
ent of his brilliant military career in
the Civil War. He drew up the first
official report to the Government OF the
United States of the discovery OF gold
in California. Gold was discovered in
the Spring of 1S48 about 60 miles
above the present city ofSacramento.
General Mason was at that time In
command of the United States forces
in California and acted as military
Governor, with headquarters at
Monterey, the capital of the Territory,
General Sherman, then young Lieu
tenant OF the Third Artillery, was the
Adiutant OF General Mason's staff,
Yerba Buena, now the great city of
San Francisco, was but q undertaking
port of 400 native inhabitants. AS
soon as gold was discovered Captain
Suffer went down to Monterey with q
quantity of samples of the precious
fetal for the inspection OF the mill
tary authorities.
General Sherman, i'll conversation
with some friends a few evenings since,
referred to this important historical
event substantially as follows:
Captain Suffer brought into General
MasOn's office several small packages
of samples and spread them out before
us: The specimens presented varied
in size from fish scales and split peas
up to the size OF beans. General
Mason asked if | knew how to test
whether this stuff was gold or not. /
said certainly, and Immediately tried
my teeth on a lump and made an in
dentation, which impressed ME that
it was malleable. | then sent for a
hammer and an axe and pounded sew
eral pieces out fiat. This was q
crude but practical test. but we then
applied acids, which verified the fact
that the samples were genuinegold. |
was at once sent up to the diggings
AMI made q thorough examination
of the gold discoveries which were APP
idly being found in new localities and in
wonderful amounts. | retured to Mon
terey with a quantity of specimen
samples and drew up the official re-
port to the Government, which was
signed by General Mason. This re.
port, accompanied by quantity Of
samples OF gold, was forwarded by a
special bearer OF dispatches, who was
no other than Henry D. Cooke, re-
Gently the first Governor of this Dis
trict of Columbia. He was sent off
in a small vessel with instructions to
intercept British steamer ON the
Southern Coast and make rapid tran
sit to Washington, regardless of ex-
pense. We had not then been advised
of the ratification of the treaty with
Mexico, ceding California to the
United States, and were necessarily
very anxious that the Government
should possess information of the
gold at the earliest moment"
Thus, less than forty years ago, cold
teeth made the first off,
cial impress, put the first Government
stamp ofvalue on the gold delved from
the mines Of this modern land of
Ophir. And it is a fair presumption
that more than half of the 100000 |
of this Republic, who are
it's wonderful prosperity, re-
sulting largely from the discovery of
gold in California, has been born since
General Sherman indented the first |
gold specimen with his teeth.

The Queens Jubilee Projects.

From the London Figaro.
1t would be interesting TO see tabu-
lated list of all the suggestions which
have been made for keeping the
queens Jubilee. What may be called
the jubilee year is already setting in
with considerable intensity, not only
in large cities, but in towns and even
villages, and it is curious to note the
variety of proposals which have been
put forward embracing well. nigh every
conceivable project from d system OF
complete drainage to- q peoples park,
and from an almshouse to public
baths and washhouses. At some en-
terprisihg towns they are not contert
with one or even two projects. At
Bridgewater, for instance, the schemes
include a park, some public baths, a
chain Of office for the mayor and o
statue of Admiral Robert Blake. At
Brighton popular, opinion is in .vor
of a plan which will transform the
western lawn into a winter garden by
roofing it in at a considerable height
with glass. At another town. will
not in pity mention the name-it is
positively proposed to celebrate the
suspicious occasion by the exceeding
ly prosaic plan OF laying dom q
wooden pavement, and should think
that the mayor and corporation
could not do better than to follow
Sidney Smiths advice and "put their
heads together for the purpose.

UNITED STATES COURT.
Edison Magoon Sentenced Jury Dis
agree In the Case of Elijah Magoon.

"G''' III 'he tbse OI ElbJhn hHEOOn.
AT the opening of the United States
Court Tuesday morning, Judge Wheeler
charged the jury in the case of Elijah Ma.
goon on trial for illicit distilling. and the
jury retired about $3.50.
Moses and Silas Magoon were then adj
mitted to bail in the sum of $500 for their
appearance at the BeXt term of court for
trial for Illicit distilIing. William Ma.
goon was sentenced to 10 days imprison-
ment in the Jail in this city for contempt
in refusing to obey summons as witness.
The cases against Asa and Loren Magoon
as retail liquor dealers were continued
until next term. and they were released
upon their own recognizance for the sum
of $500 each. Edison Magoon then stood
up to be sentenced, and when asked if he
mad anything to say why sentence should
not ne pronounced against him, he said
that his enemy, Eli Densmore, had been
sent to summon some of his witnesses and
they did not arrive in time, and he reiter-
ated his innocence
Mr.. Heath said that the convicted mans
wife and child would be thrown upon the
public for support, and he asked for the
clemency of the court.
Judge Wheeler said he had no doubt of
Magoon's guilt from the evidence. The
United states did not attempt to prohibit
the manufacture of spirits, but it did
under certain conditions. The offence was
not trivial one, as the distilled brandy
mad been peddled through the commune
ty to its great detriment The court said
he was sorry for Magoon's wife and child
but that could have no influence in the
sentence. He should have thought OF
them before he committed the crime. The
court then sentenced Magoon to serve a
term of Is months in the House of Cor
rectlon and to pay a fine of 5000 The
court informed Magoon that for good be
haviour there would be reduction of five
days for every month.
Inc jury in Elijah Magoon's case came
In about 2:30 and announced that they
could not agree on verdict, and it is un.
derstood they were about evenly divided.
Inc court sent them out again for further
consultation but about O'Clock they had
not been able to agree and were discharg-
ed.
